Kris Massie (born 30 May 1980 in Sweden[1][2]) is an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton and Adelaide in the Australian Football League.
Massie was recruited to the Carlton Football Club in the 1997 AFL Draft and won a Rising Star nomination in his first AFL season (1998) after debuting less than two weeks before his 18th birthday. As a utility player, Massie failed to live up to his top 10 draft pick status, however, and only managed 43 games in 4 seasons at Carlton before being traded.
At Adelaide, Massie held his spot in the side late in the 2002 season, and in 2003 again performed well enough to hold his spot for the finals series. 2004 saw him play the first 11 games, but he only managed one more match for the year, in Round 17.
In 2005, Massie had turned 25 and was now an experienced member of the team. Kept in as a depth player, Massie played much of his football with Norwood in the SANFL, and only managed 3 games for the year including the Qualifying Final.
Despite this, he was kept on for 2006 where he picked up 20+ possessions on a number of occasions and playing 20 games.
He missed the first half of 2007 with Injury before coming back for Round 12.
Massie had his best game in defence at Round 14's heritage round trashing of Hawthorn where he silenced Hawks key forward Lance Franklin to a goal however Franklin got his revenge scoring 7 goals including the match winner in the Elimination Final of 2007 when Massie was again his opponent.
Massie was delisted by Adelaide at the end of the 2008 season, and signed to play as a contracted player for Norwood in the SANFL in 2009.
In 2010, Massie moved into coaching, taking the role as the under-18s coach at Glenelg, taking the young Bays to the premiership.[3] In 2011, he became Glenelg's reserves coach and on 20 June 2011 head coach Mark Mickan was sacked by the club following poor onfield performances and Massie was installed as coach for the rest of the SANFL season. Former Adelaide Crows team mate Ken McGregor moved into the role of Reserves coach.
